Google Kills Estimates

Google shares spiked by over 18 percent in after hours trading, about the same time the search giant's earnings report hit. The dramatic rise is attributed to a trouncing of Wall Street estimates.Google reported revenues of $5.19 billion for Q1 2008, or $3.7 billion after traffic-acquisition costs, pulling in a non-GAAP earnings per share of $4.84. Analysts had predicted $3.61 billion in revenues and an EPS of $4.52.
